Hi gang.
 
I took Rocky in Wednesday to the animal eye specialist because of his eye
problem.  She tapped his eye and got some samples to be examined.  Well,
today she calls me and says that it turned out to be lymphoma.  It is a
tumor that's pushing his eye out.  Boy, my heart beats much more slowly
now.  He's physically fine right now.  He's eating fine and drinking fine.
 
Anyway, she said that I could put him on chemo treatment and/or prednisone
at least to try to eliminate the swelling.  However, she says the outlook
isn't good.
 
I don't know what to do!  Rocko is my little bud.  He's 5 and, in case you
don't know, he's the ferret from Ferret World---although FW has since
closed.  Some of you may remember the picture of him that looks like he's
really typing something on the puter.  He's got his back feet in the chair,
his front feet are on the keyboard keys and he's look straight at the
monitor.
 
Does anyone have any suggestions?  I didn't ask the doctor (I wasn't
thinking), but can't they remove the tumor?
 
I really appreciate your suggestions.  Please pray or Rocky with me.
